    Let's face it, this entire line needs to be rebuilt. There is the $17M question with Pouncey and James and the fact that Tunsil needs to go back to Guard. Miami has major cap space eaten by Tannehill and Suh, so how does Miamii fix the line? Is it a temporary fix with 1 year deals with veterans until they can manage and potentially cut Suh and Tannehill? Or is it plan B, 2nd contract veterans that don't require $50M in guarantees? Anyhow much of the draft or trading picks should they go through? I will say one thing, Miami needs to get a true LT. Last year Miami was rolling when Albert was healthy at LT and Tunsil was Guard. Which games last year did Tunsil play Tackle? How many did we lose?

    Coaching. We did lose an OL coach which also revealed possible pollution of the OL game. That needs cleaning up.

    At least one guard.

    And then we might actually be surprised what we see.

    The line will probably be garbage for another 2 years. James might not be back next year

    I'd start over with Tunsil, some cheaper free agents, and draft a couple guys. Pick five starters and keep them working together through camp and game after game. They don't have to be the best, just solid and mostly mistake free.

    Pay some money to real free agents. Look at how a dude like Whitworth improved the Rams and how bad the Bengals have been. Sorry Jarvis, we need to pay OL not you.

    One thing that will always baffle me, is that we put our O-line against our D-line in practice, and somehow we come out of it with our FO and coaching staffing thinking "This offensive line is good enough to compete at a competitive level"

    You fix it by investing three first round picks on it, two at the tackle position and one at center.

    Oh wait, we did that already.


    Um we are officially setback 3 years

    We are ****ed as long as the people picking the players are still employed
